Upcoming PS Vita HBL for Firmware 3.30 canceled!

(Note from wololo: this article was intended to be published a couple days ago but got delayed in the ongoing mess). Due to the massive release, leak – call it whatever you want – we are unable to release the supposed to be upcoming firmware 3.30 VHBL game.

It was Patapon 1 and it had a really really good VHBL compatibility, the best since years (for the PS Vita).

Well, that is now useless, due to TN-V being available at 3.18 and Patapon 1 being fixed on higher firmwares.

Not only Patapon 1 but …

… also Patapon 2 and the Patapon 2 demo can be exploited, if you happen to have those currently installed.

There was a one-day window for being able to get the Patapon 2 demo onto your PS Vita, that was a few months ago, as the “blacklist” for the download list of the PSN was disabled, which enabled you to download any PSP/PS1 content onto your PS Vita.

It is currently impossible to install the Patapon 2 demo onto your PS Vita, regardless of any kind of PS3 or Package Installer connection. You can not install the demo!

So simply buy Patapon 1 or Patapon 2, follow the video and enjoy the TN-V eCFW at firmware 3.18.

This might be the last exploit release for a lot of months, if not years.

Why do I get the feeling that the recent leak may have all but killed the Vita hacking scene? Can someone please tell me I’m wrong? I’ve been waiting for the wizards to make progress into a native CFW for the Vita. Will this mass leak kill any possibility of that happening or merely delay it?
